Overview

Embark on a breathtaking journey through the icy waters of LeConte Bay, where sculpted icebergs drift beneath towering cliffs and the mighty LeConte Glacier carves its way through the landscape.

After your glacier experience, continue on to the charming fishing town of Petersburg, where you'll have time to explore its colorful harbor, learn about its rich Norwegian heritage, and enjoy a relaxed stroll through this authentic Southeast Alaskan community. This unforgettable day blends wild glacial beauty with small-town culture, offering a true taste of Alaska by land and sea.

This small-group experience offers up-close views and expert narration about the region’s geology, wildlife, and glacial dynamics. Whether you’re an adventurer, a photographer, or simply a lover of raw natural beauty, this tour promises awe at every turn.
